Hello.
P.C. stands for "Professional Corporation."
Many jurisdictions recognize a special type of corporation for
doctors, lawyers, accountants, etc. called a "Professional
Corporation." A professional who operates as such a corporation is
typically required to identify himself or herself to the public as
"Professional Corporation" or "P.C."
See:

"Professional corporations. The corporate form can also be used for
professional service providers. The main advantage of incorporating is
that professionals in the corporation are not liable for the
malpractice of others in the corporation, but they still remain liable
for their own individual acts. Incorporating a professional
corporation is essentially the same as incorporating any other
corporation. A professional corporation however, must identify itself
as such by including the following in its name: P.C., P.A., chartered,
or incorporated."
